John Denver - I'm Sorry

 

It's cold here in the city

It always seems that way

And I've been thinking about you almost everyday

Thinking about the good times

Thinking about the rain

Thinking about how bad it feels alone again.

I'm sorry for the way things are in China

I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be

But more than anything else

I'm sorry for myself

cause you're not here with me.

Our friends ask all about you

I say you're doing fine

And I expect to hear from you almost anytime

But they all know I'm crying

I can't sleep at night

They all know I'm dying down deep inside.

I'm sorry for all the lies I told you

I'm sorry for the things I didn't say

But more than anything else

I'm sorry for myself

I can't believe you went away.

I'm sorry if I took some things for granted

I'm sorry for the chains I put on you

But more than anything else

I'm sorry for myself

For living without you.
